“During one week I was sexually harassed twice by the Moroccan ambassador, and there is no indication that these harassment will stop soon, so I decided to resign from the embassy,” she said.
Local aid appealed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in Rabat to move to stop such practices, which could be the victim of new workers and employees of the embassy’s interests.
